How to complain about Xiangshan impression property

The glass pyramid designed and built by I.M. Pei is 2 1 meter high and 30 meters wide at the bottom, standing in the center of the courtyard. Its four sides are composed of 673 diamond-shaped glasses. The total plane area is about 2000 square meters. The total weight of the iron tower is 200 tons, of which the net weight of glass is 105 tons, and the metal support is only 95 tons. In other words, the load of the bracket exceeds its own weight. Therefore, experts believe that this glass pyramid is not only a masterpiece of modern artistic style, but also a unique attempt to use modern science and technology.

The north, south and east sides of this large glass pyramid are decorated with three small glass pyramids five meters high, which together with seven triangular fountains form the strange beauty of plane and three-dimensional geometric figures. People not only stopped accusing him, but also said that "a huge gem flew to the Louvre"

In the same year, he also won the Putzke Prize known as the Nobel Prize in architecture. This award is an honorary award of the world's best architectural achievement award established by Kaihai Foundation in 1979, and is awarded once a year. I.M. Pei is the fifth person to receive this honor. This award is based on the work done in recent decades.

I.M. Pei was deeply impressed by the traditional architectural art in China. The winding promenade, rockery and waterside pavilion in Suzhou gardens, especially the complementary pattern between architecture and surrounding natural landscape, and the application of light and shadow aesthetics have been traced in his architectural design career for decades. The newly-built Xiangshan Hotel, located in Beijing Xiangshan Park, is a combination of modern architectural art and China traditional architectural features.

1979, I.M. Pei accepted the design of Xiangshan Hotel. With his consistent and meticulous style, he not only visited Xiangshan for many times to survey the terrain, but also climbed to the top to overlook the surrounding environment. And visited Beijing, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Chengde and other places. Investigate the local big buildings and gardens. Finally, a series of irregular courtyards were built to blend with the surrounding water, mountains, mountains and towering ancient trees. Therefore, this newly-built Xiangshan Hotel looks ordinary in appearance, just like a girl with inner beauty. At first glance, it seems inconspicuous, but the more you look at it, the more you will feel the natural beauty of her light makeup.

Compared with the skyscrapers designed in the past, the scale of Xiangshan Hotel is not large. But I.M. Pei said, "Xiangshan Hotel occupies an important position in my design career. My efforts are ten times higher than some buildings designed abroad. " He also said, "We can't look out every time there is a new building. The roots of China architecture are still there, and they can sprout. Of course, it is not enough to find the root of history, but also to modernize. With a good root, you can cut branches and connect new things and usable things to the old roots. From the design of Xiangshan Hotel, I tried to explore a new way: to embody the essence of China national architectural art in modern architecture. There are only two designs in this prolific architect's office. One is the design of the East Building of China Art Museum, and the other is the design of Beijing Xiangshan Hotel. It can be seen that the design of Xiangshan Hotel really occupies an important position in his heart. I.M. Pei's works have added luster to modern cities since the industrial revolution, which can be said to keep pace with the times. At 1988, I.M. Pei decided not to accept large-scale construction projects, but to choose small buildings carefully, and the height of the buildings he designed was getting lower and lower. That is to say, it is getting closer and closer to the main line. I think this is a return to nature. Meixiu Art Museum more clearly shows Pei's grasp of oriental artistic conception in his later years, especially his grasp of China's ideal landscape painting, a distant scenery in his hometown. Japanese critics put it very well, and this work marks a new milestone in Pei's long architectural career.

The original idea of Meixiu Art Museum comes from the prose Peach Blossom Garden written by Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. It is also a well-known Japanese China classic. So the curator of the art museum, Yamami Yuko, saw these four Chinese characters and immediately accepted I.M. Pei's idea happily. An architect who was born in China and started his career in the United States has a rich and complicated complex, and wants to build an art museum with typical China scenery in Japan.
